  1. Praying for dear life riding pillion while the driver watches anime is a classic Thai experience.
  2. Reading about the various Tai languages piqued my interest. Shan is closely related to Thai and in Chiang Mai you'll hear it everywhere if you listen closely. Has anyone here tried to tackle this language before? In a couple years once my Thai is solid I'll go for it.
  3. Since these bikes are really easy to work on, how about installing a custom cushion? I've seen lots of options online.
  4. How are Honda Waves for traveling through Thailand? I used one last time I was over there and had a blast, but never drove more than a couple hours a day and almost never on the highway. I know there's comfier options but you really can't beat the price on those things. What are your thoughts? Have I fallen for เด็กแว้น memes? I think they're pretty cool.
  5. To those more advanced in Thai, could you summarize your journey until now? I feel like I'm stuck in a weird intermediate stage where I'm not making any progress and would love to read other people's stories.
  6. Sure but they have to pay legal migrants minimum wage along with adhering to other regulations. Illegal hires are cheaper and can't complain. Maybe they're "unwanted" by the government to save face but business owners profit big time, especially in agriculture and food processing jobs. You're correct, there is a labor shortage in Thailand. Legal or not, the perfect way to fill in this gap is with desperate people fleeing danger.
  7. Civil war in Burma creates a steady stream of migrants ready to work as slaves for Thailand. It's the reason things stay so cheap. China also wants a divided Myanmar, it means they get cheap access to major resources. America/CIA does the same with Mexico and the cartel.
